This handsome, double-fronted, seven bedroom Victorian terraced house is a true 'Tardis'. The house boasts exceptional volume at just under 4500sqft, with flexible living space and a garage.

Upon entering, you're welcomed into a spacious 28' x 23' reception room featuring two grand bay windows and soaring 3-meter-high ceilings, flooding the space with natural light and creating a bright, airy ambiance. The rear of the property has been thoughtfully extended, offering an open-plan kitchen and dining area with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

This area opens onto a large, private patio garden, perfect for family gatherings or entertaining. The contemporary kitchen includes abundant storage, high-end fitted appliances, and a stylish island with a breakfast bar.
At the bottom of the garden, you'll find a luxurious indoor pool room, complete with a hydro jet system. An additional reception room, ideal for a play area for older children or summer entertaining, features large glass doors and windows that open directly onto the private rear garden. This space also offers easy access to a downstairs shower room. It also leads through to the kitchen, ensuring convenience for both relaxation and entertainment.

On the first floor, you'll find three spacious double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The rear guest bedroom opens onto a large terrace which is a real sun trap. Also on this floor is the impressive Principal suite, featuring a generous bedroom, an expansive dressing area with wall-to-wall wardrobes, and double doors leading to a private balcony. The balcony is connected to the garden via a striking spiral staircase that extends from the top of the house down to the garden. The suite also includes a luxurious bathroom, complete with a standalone bath, twin sinks, and a separate shower. A convenient utility room and guest W.C. are located on the half-landing.

The top floor hosts three further well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which is arranged as a self-contained studio flat, ideal for a live-in nanny. A separate family bathroom serves this floor.

The lower grand floor basement is currently used as an entertainment room which could easily be used as a playroom. On this level is also a guest W.C. and a wine cellar.

This beautifully maintained double-fronted home, noted for its desirable shape and width, is rarely available. The new owners will also enjoy the convenience of off-street parking as well as a garage.
